Interferometry technique

Very Long Baseline Interferometry

Radio interferometry stretched across continents — antennas thousands of kilometres apart record the sky independently with precise atomic clocks, and the data are combined later. It achieves the finest angular resolution in all of astronomy; a global VLBI network imaged the shadow of a black hole.
